oN5 Building 

This innovative four-storey project demonstrates what is possible with mass timber construction. Located in Vancouver, Canada, and built on a narrow mid-block site with only a 7.54-metre wide street frontage, this commercial project has an all-timber structure as the cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels form the floors, walls and roof. It also features new approaches to insulative cross-laminated timber (CLT) assemblies and damage-resistant seismic design. The CLT floor panels use an innovative adhesive system eliminating the need for beams.
The structure was designed to Passive House principles, and its efficient design, along with wood’s natural insulating benefits, helps reduce the need for active heating and cooling systems by optimizing the building envelope. Visit www.naturallyw.... to learn more about oN5 Building.
